Many individuals had no detectable intact proviruses. Results: Of the 74 controllers, 41 Detectable levels of intact provirus ranged from Conclusions: Elite controllers have low levels of intact provirus, but the level of transcriptional activity is directly correlated with the frequency of intact virions.

No difference was observed in the amounts of intact proviruses between groups. A subsequent sample taken four to six years later for three PTCs revealed no evolution of the proviral quasispecies and defects. A deletion in the nef gene was observed in every proviral sequence of two HICs, suggesting a role of these attenuated strains in the viral control in these HICs. Conclusions: For the first time, we show the presence of intact proviruses and a stable and low viral diversity in PTCs after treatment interruption, reflecting a low residual replication over years.
The difference of defective but not intact proviruses amounts between groups suggests a role of these forms in the pathogenesis of HIV infection. Van Hecke 1 , S. Schynkel 1 , E. Malatinkova 1 , K.

However, due to the unique features of the immune system in children, strategies tailored in adults might not be applicable to this age group. Adults who spontaneously control viraemia elite controllers have been extensively investigated as a natural model of remission. Peripheral mononuclear cells samples were analysed by flow cytometry. Clustering analysis shows a clear pattern of PEC grouping together with EU for activation markers on total, central memory and effector memory cells.
